Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of underground mining, and in particular relates to an ultra-deep shaft buoyancy and hoist combined ore lifting system and method. Background Art

[0002] With the depletion of shallow resources, deep well mining at the kilometer level will be almost the only way to obtain mineral resources in the future. In the process of underground deep well mining, the mined ore needs to be transported from the deep well to the surface. At present, the main ore lifting system is the wire rope friction wheel. As an important component of the ore lifting system, the wire rope is related to the safety and economy of the operation of the ore lifting system.

[0003] However, in deep wells exceeding one kilometer, the weight of the wire rope of the traditional ore lifting system will increase with the increase of the well depth. Due to the huge weight of the wire rope, the output power of the traditional ore lifting system is consumed in the lifting of the wire rope, and the effective power that can be allocated to ore lifting is greatly reduced, resulting in a low single ore carrying capacity, thereby reducing the overall ore transportation efficiency and causing the ore lifting cost to remain high.

[0004] In addition, when the wire rope of the traditional ore lifting system is adapted to a well depth of more than one kilometer, due to the long length and high deadweight of the wire rope, problems such as unbalanced force, friction creep, and local fatigue of the wire rope will become increasingly prominent, further reducing the service life of the wire rope. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an ultra-deep shaft buoyancy and hoist combined ore lifting system and method, in which a buoyancy transportation channel is formed by combining the ultra-deep shaft with the water used in underground mining operations.

[0007] The inner wall of the shaft of the blind shaft is constructed with a lining layer that is resistant to high pressure and water seepage.

[0008] A pressure balance chamber is arranged in the bottom transport tunnel, a first gate is arranged between the pressure balance chamber and the bottom transport tunnel, and a second gate is arranged between the pressure balance chamber and the blind shaft; the pressure balance chamber serves as a transfer chamber for the ore bin and the buoyancy bin to enter the blind shaft.

[0009] A pressurized equipment chamber is provided in the bottom transport tunnel, and a water pump, a water storage bin, a water suction pipe, a drainage pipe, a return pipe, an air compressor and an air pipe are provided in the pressurized equipment chamber; the water inlet of the water pump is connected with the water storage bin through the water suction pipe, the water outlet of the water pump is connected with the pressure balance chamber through the drainage pipe, and the pressure balance chamber is connected with the water storage bin through the return pipe; the air compressor is connected with the pressure balance chamber through the air pipe.

[0010] A water supply valve, a check valve and an anti-pollution isolation valve are arranged in sequence on the drainage pipe between the water outlet of the water pump and the pressure balance chamber; a buffer tank, a filter and an air valve are arranged in sequence on the air pipe between the air compressor and the pressure balance chamber; and a return valve is arranged on the return pipe between the pressure balance chamber and the water storage tank.

[0011] A first pressure sensor is arranged in the blind shaft; a second pressure sensor is arranged in the pressure balance chamber; a pressure balance pipe is arranged between the pressure balance chamber and the blind shaft, a pressure reducing valve is arranged on the pressure balance pipe, a water inlet of the pressure reducing valve is connected to the blind shaft, and a water outlet of the pressure reducing valve is connected to the pressure balance chamber.

[0012] An emergency pressure relief water storage chamber is also provided in the bottom transport tunnel, and a third gate is provided between the emergency pressure relief water storage chamber and the blind shaft.

[0013] A track wheel is arranged at the bottom of the ore bin, and a lifting ring is arranged at the top of the ore bin; a hook is arranged at the bottom of the buoyancy bin, and the buoyancy bin is hung and matched with the lifting ring at the top of the ore bin through the bottom hook; a guide wheel is arranged at the top of the buoyancy bin, and a guide rail is arranged at the top of the pressure balance chamber, and the buoyancy bin is moved and matched with the guide rail at the top of the pressure balance chamber through the guide wheel.

[0014] The number of buoyancy bins connected to the ore bin is at least one; when the number of the buoyancy bins is multiple, the multiple buoyancy bins are connected in series, and the ore carrying capacity of the ore bin is adapted by adjusting the number of the buoyancy bins connected in series.

[0015] An ultra-deep shaft buoyancy and hoist combined ore extraction method, using the ultra-deep shaft buoyancy and hoist combined ore extraction system, comprises the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: Open the first gate, first move the ore bin loaded with ore into the pressure balance chamber through the track wheel, then move the buoyancy bin into the pressure balance chamber through the guide wheel, so that the buoyancy bin is located directly above the ore bin, and then hang the buoyancy bin and the ore bin together;

[0017] Step 2: Close the first gate, the pressure balance chamber is sealed, then open the water supply valve and the air valve, and then start the water pump and the air compressor. The air compressor draws air out of the pressure balance chamber, and at the same time the water pump pumps the water from the water storage tank into the pressure balance chamber until the pressure balance chamber is filled with water. At this time, close the water supply valve and the air valve, and turn off the water pump and the air compressor at the same time;

[0018] Step 3: Open the pressure reducing valve to connect the pressure balance chamber with the blind shaft. The water pressure in the pressure balance chamber will gradually increase. When the bottom pressure of the blind shaft monitored by the first pressure sensor is equal to the pressure in the pressure balance chamber monitored by the second pressure sensor, it means that the pressure balance chamber and the blind shaft are balanced. At this time, close the pressure reducing valve.

[0019] Step 4: Open the second gate, and then move the buoyancy bin and the ore bin that are connected together out of the pressure balance chamber and into the blind shaft. Then, the buoyancy output by the buoyancy bin drives the ore bin to be lifted until the ore bin is lifted to the wellhead end of the blind shaft.

[0020] Step 5: After the buoyancy bin and the ore bin that are connected together move out of the pressure balance chamber together, close the second gate, the pressure balance chamber is re-sealed, then open the return valve and the air valve, and start the air compressor at the same time. The air compressor pumps external air into the pressure balance chamber, and the water in the pressure balance chamber returns to the water storage bin through the return pipe until all the water in the pressure balance chamber is drained. At this time, close the return valve and the air valve, and turn off the air compressor at the same time. Finally, open the first gate to prepare for the next ore bin to enter the pressure balance chamber;

[0021] Step 6: After the ore bin is lifted to the shaft end of the blind shaft, start the grab crane, and transfer the buoyancy bin and the ore bin to the ore transfer tunnel by the grab crane. When the buoyancy bin and the ore bin are moved to the upper shaft end of the chute, the ore bin is left at the upper shaft end of the chute for ore dropping, and the buoyancy bin is first unhooked from the ore bin, and then moved to the auxiliary shaft cage, and finally driven by the auxiliary shaft hoist to return to the bottom transportation tunnel along the auxiliary shaft for standby use;

[0022] Step 7: After the ore bin has finished dropping into the chute, the empty ore bin also needs to be moved to the auxiliary shaft cage, and then the auxiliary shaft hoist drives the auxiliary shaft cage along the auxiliary shaft back to the bottom of the shaft for transportation to the horizontal lane for standby;

[0023] Step 8: The ore falling into the chute will first enter the vibrating ore-discharging machine, and then the vibrating ore-discharging machine will evenly discharge the ore into the mine car in the ore transfer yard. The mine car loaded with ore will then be moved to the main shaft cage, and then the main shaft hoist will drive the main shaft cage to move along the main shaft to the ground, and the ore in the mine car will be unloaded on the ground. The empty mine car will then be moved to the auxiliary shaft cage, and finally the auxiliary shaft hoist will drive the auxiliary shaft cage along the auxiliary shaft back to the ore transfer yard for standby.

[0024] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0025] The ultra-deep shaft buoyancy and hoist combined ore lifting system and method of the present invention forms a buoyancy transportation channel by combining the ultra-deep shaft with the water used in underground mining operations. The ore lifting process is completely achieved by buoyancy, without consuming energy, and has a large single ore carrying capacity. Only the hoist is configured at the lifting end, and the ore is transported to the ground by the hoist, which greatly improves the overall ore transportation efficiency and further reduces the ore lifting cost.

Step 4: Open the second gate, and then move the buoyancy bin and the ore bin that are connected together out of the pressure balance chamber and into the blind shaft. Then, the buoyancy output by the buoyancy bin drives the ore bin to be lifted until the ore bin is lifted to the wellhead end of the blind shaft. Step 5: After the buoyancy bin and the ore bin that are connected together move out of the pressure balance chamber together, close the second gate, the pressure balance chamber is re-sealed, then open the return valve and the air valve, and start the air compressor at the same time. The air compressor pumps external air into the pressure balance chamber, and the water in the pressure balance chamber returns to the water storage bin through the return pipe until all the water in the pressure balance chamber is drained. At this time, close the return valve and the air valve, and turn off the air compressor at the same time. Finally, open the first gate to prepare for the next ore bin to enter the pressure balance chamber; Step 6: After the ore bin is lifted to the shaft end of the blind shaft, start the grab crane, and transfer the buoyancy bin and the ore bin to the ore transfer tunnel by the grab crane. When the buoyancy bin and the ore bin are moved to the upper shaft end of the chute, the ore bin is left at the upper shaft end of the chute for ore dropping, and the buoyancy bin is first unhooked from the ore bin, and then moved to the auxiliary shaft cage, and finally driven by the auxiliary shaft hoist to return to the bottom transportation tunnel along the auxiliary shaft for standby use; Step 7: After the ore bin has finished dropping into the chute, the empty ore bin also needs to be moved to the auxiliary shaft cage, and then the auxiliary shaft hoist drives the auxiliary shaft cage along the auxiliary shaft back to the bottom of the shaft for transportation to the horizontal lane for standby; Step 8: The ore falling into the chute will first enter the vibrating ore-discharging machine, and then the vibrating ore-discharging machine will evenly discharge the ore into the mine car in the ore transfer yard. The mine car loaded with ore will then be moved to the main shaft cage, and then the main shaft hoist will drive the main shaft cage to move along the main shaft to the ground, and the ore in the mine car will be unloaded on the ground. The empty mine car will then be moved to the auxiliary shaft cage, and finally the auxiliary shaft hoist will drive the auxiliary shaft cage along the auxiliary shaft back to the ore transfer yard for standby.
